Operating manual
• Do not heat containers, vessels or pipes that contain or have contained flammable liquids or gases.
• Do not overheat parts or adhesives.
• In the event of a fire, use a fire extinguisher or fire blanket.
• Do not use this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
• Do not heat pressure vessels.
• Keep airbags, aerosol cans and other pressurised containers away from induction-heating
equipment.
RISK OF STEAM AND GAS
• Keep your head well clear of the fumes, do not breathe the fumes.
• When working indoors, ventilate the area and/or use an air extractor to clear fumes and gases.
• Induction heating certain materials, adhesives and fluxes can produce fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and
gases can be hazardous to your health. For example, heating urethane releases a gas: hydrogen cyanide, which can
be fatal to people.
• If ventilation is poor, use an approved welding-fume extractor.
• Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and manufacturer's instructions for adhesives, fluxes, metals, consum-
ables, coatings, cleaning agents, and paint strippers.
• Only work in a confined space if it is well ventilated or if using an approved welding-fume extractor. Make sure you
have a qualified person monitoring you. The vapours and gases produced when heating can replace the oxygen in the
air causing accidents or death. Make sure the air you breathe is clean.
• Do not use the heater on parts that are being degreased or sprayed. Heat can react with vapours to form highly toxic
and irritant gases.
• Do not overheat metals, such as lead- or cadmium-coated, galvanized steel, unless the coating is removed from the
surface to be heated, the work area is well ventilated and, if necessary, using an approved welding-fume extractor.
Foundry pieces, as well as all metals containing these elements, can release toxic fumes if overheated.
Refer to the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for temperature-related information.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
• During operation, the inductor will generate strong, invisible electromagnetic fields.
• This equipment has been designed to minimise the risks from electromagnetic fields, however,
there still remains some risk.
• Keep a minimum safety distance of 30 cm between the inductor machine and the operator's head
and body.
• The inductor must be aimed only at the metal parts to be heated.
• Never wrap the lance around the body.
OPTICAL RADIATION
• There is a risk of optical radiation when heated metal elements approach and reach melting point.
• Optical radiation can be harmful to the eyes and skin.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
An electric shock can be the source of a serious accident, whether directly or indirectly, or even death.
This is a Class I appliance, to be used only with a single-phase, 230 V (50/60 Hz), three-wire electrical
installation with an earthed connection.
• The maximum absorbed current (I1) is shown on the equipment to ensure optimum operating conditions. Check that the
power supply and its safeguards (fuses and/or circuit breakers) are all compatible with the electric current being used.
• The earthing lead must not be broken or disconnected (e.g. by an extension cord).
• Do not use the appliance if the power cable, the mains plug or the lance is damaged.
• Do not use the inductor in the rain, on wet parts or on component pieces that are under water.
